Hi,

This is a straightforward repair. However, make sure the negative battery terminal is disconnected before you start working on or around the starter motor.

If you look below, I attached the directions from my manual specific to this vehicle. Take a look through them and let me know if you have any questions.

Take care and let me know if this helps.
